1. Have more faith in yourself. Wisdom Within focuses on increasing your confidence in your body and your ability to birth, which can be very productive for your birth process.

2. Benefit from independence. Wisdom Within supports people who choose to birth at a hospital, birth center, or at home. The information provided is not restricted by anyone else's policies or procedures.

3. Find a balance and prepare for your ideal birth. A full spectrum of care is discussed in Wisdom Within sessions including midwifery care, care with a doctor, natural comfort techniques, medical interventions – and how to wade through it all to plan the right birth for you and your family. We provide the ideas, the evidence-based information, and the examples - free from bias or judgement - and you make the decisions that are right for you.

4. Get support. Wisdom Within's group sessions are friendly, often smaller than other classes. You will be able to get all of your questions answered (even ones you’re shy about asking anyone else) and this is a great place to chat with other expectant couples.

5. Learn to advocate for yourself. Wisdom Within enlightens you about modern birth culture and how to be a confident, informed consumer in your pregnancy and birth process - whether your birth experience goes as planned or not.

6. Relax! Each group session includes instruction and practice with a variety of hands-on comfort techniques. Not only is this great practice for labor and is a fabulous way to bond with your support person, but when you're comfortable, you learn better. Plus, who can say no to a back rub at the end of a long day?
